When I pot on tomatoes, I put them in so that the first leaves are just above
the compost level in the new pot.

Should you do that with other plants as well?

eg I am potting on some sunflowers and they are about 1.5 inches of stem before
the leaves.

How deep should I do them please?

I don't have a greenhouseso my seedlings are grown on window ledges
and tend to get leggy. Tomato seedlings are OK planted deeper, up to
the seed leaves, because they will root further up the stem. I've
done that very thing today.
